Learn to love what must be done: https://simplyconvivial.com/sweepNeed more cleaning motivation? Hate housework? Frustrated with chores? Here's the problem...
First, we can feel angry while we clean the house when we focus on finishing or being done with the work and then — too soon after we “finish” — we have to do it again.
It’s easy to blame the kids or even our husband for undoing the work, for making messes again, for needing more food or more laundry. When we see housework as a thing we’re supposed to finish, check the work off as done, then the people in our house feel like a problem. We finished the work, but because of others, the work has to be done again.
The problem in such cases is only our perspective, not the other people and not the work. We have a wrong view of the nature of housework and the nature of life. We don’t understand our position in relation to our home and family life.
**The work of keeping a home is not work that ever stays done. **
That’s not a discouraging statement if we look at it rightly.Read more here: https://simplyconvivial.com/2023/housework-makes-me-mad/
